Paul Newman.
shareArnold Schwarzenegger
shareIt's surprising that Hollywood let Schwarzenegger kept his real name to use in the business. It's hard to spell and pronounce, very German (Nazi) sounding, and has a "negger" in it. Well, it worked wonders tho'.
shareHis accent being as thick as it is it wouldn't have made any sense to change it. Though I wonder if anyone suggested he shorten it to Arnold Schwarz or something. But Arnold being Arnold, he just takes up as much space as he wants.
sharevery good point... kudos for him.

Humphrey Bogart
Milla Jovovich...not a "big" star,but...
